Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 425 Towards Formalization

After everyone arrived, the five of them held a meeting the next day.

On the Zhengfeng eSports side, many things have reached the point where they must be settled.

However, Fang Ningxue did not rush to promote MCN this time.

She flipped to the back of the file, her tone steady:

"Let's put MCN incubation on hold for now."

"At least until after the second Challenge Cup."

Jiang Feng nodded.

This judgment is correct.

Pushing MCNs too hard now is spreading the word too thin.

Escort services, customer service system, rating system, new office, sponsorship coordination—everything requires someone to oversee it.

Moreover, the Challenge Cup itself is the best selection arena.

Who has the strength?

Who can withstand pressure?

Who can create a good show effect?

Who is suitable to be packaged as a live streamer?

A high-intensity cup match provides a clearer picture than ten internal meetings.

Fang Ningxue continued:

"The timing has been basically set."

June 1th.

"This time, we're not doing it behind closed doors."

"The Delta official team, as well as TikTok, will assist us."

"Nominally, it's still the second edition of the Challenge Cup, but in reality, it serves as a warm-up for the subsequent official tournament system."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng's eyes flickered slightly.

That makes a completely different sense.

The first Zhengfeng Cup was more like an internal promotion and star-making event for Zhengfeng esports.

However, if the second season of the Zhengfeng Cup has official support and platform backing, then its nature changes.

It is no longer just an internal cup competition for Zhengfeng Esports.

Rather, it was an early trial run for the integration of Delta grassroots events, platform traffic, and the official event system.

This is an opportunity for Zhengfeng Esports.

It was also a test.

Fang Ningxue said:

"So this time we can't just chase the excitement."

"Rules, schedules, commentary, broadcasting, sponsorship exposure, and player vetting must all be standardized."

"We need to show officials and platforms that we have the capacity to host larger-scale events."

Jiang Feng said:

"You decide."

"Just tell me if you need my help."

Fang Ningxue gave a soft "hmm".

After the meeting ended, the others gradually dispersed.

Zhang Jindong did not leave immediately.

He stood there, hesitated for a few seconds, and then spoke:

"Fengzi".

Jiang Feng looked up at him.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Jindong was unusually not grinning.

He pulled up a chair, sat down, and after a moment of silence, said:

"I want to have a serious talk with you."

Jiang Feng put down the water glass in his hand.

"explain."

Zhang Jindong rubbed his face, his tone somewhat complicated.

"I've been thinking a lot lately."

"In the past, when we had thousands or tens of thousands of viewers in our live stream, I could still manage."

"But things are different now."

"Your business, brokerage, public opinion, platform relationships, and brand resources are all on a completely different level."

"These past few days I've clearly felt that there are many things I don't know how to do."

"I don't understand the contract."

"You should consult a lawyer about the business terms."

"I don't know how to set up the brand's price list."

"The flow of public opinion cannot be resolved simply by issuing a statement."

As he said this, he looked up at Jiang Feng, his expression very serious.

"Fengzi, I don't want to hold you back."

Jiang Feng remained silent.

Zhang Jindong continued:

"To be honest, given your current rate of development, I'm no longer suitable to be your agent directly."

It's not that I don't want to do it.

"It's because I'm not professional enough right now."

"If I keep pushing myself, I'm not being responsible to you, and I'm not being responsible to myself."

After he said that, the room fell silent.

Zhang Jindong had always been assisting Jiang Feng. He started as Jiang Feng's assistant, but later Jiang Feng entrusted all his big and small matters to Zhang Jindong.

Zhang Jindong is very organized and, most importantly, knows Jiang Feng inside and out.

However, some experience and knowledge require perseverance to acquire, and Zhang Jindong lacks these.

Zhang Jindong took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts:

My suggestion is...

"Your agency and commercial contracts will be signed with An Mingzhao."

"She has a well-established film and television company under her management, as well as a professional team of agents, legal professionals, and business associates."

"Let her help you build a truly professional team."

"I can continue to work with you as a member of the team and learn from them."

"This way, it won't hinder your development, and I can gradually catch up on my studies."

Jiang Feng looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Have you thought it through?"

Zhang Jindong nodded.

"I've made up my mind."

"I used to think that if I could help my brothers, I should definitely help them."

"But now I understand that helping out doesn't mean taking up a position."

"If I'm not capable enough, I should let the professionals do it."

"I'll learn from them, and when I'm truly capable, I'll take on more responsibilities."

These words are very true.

She was also very clear-headed.

Jiang Feng smiled instead.

"Aren't you being quite professional?"

Zhang Jindong was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Feng said:

"Knowing where you're not a professional is itself part of being a professional."

Zhang Jindong was silent for two seconds, then suddenly cursed:

"Stop giving me this motivational platitudes."

I'm serious about something to you.

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded:

"OK."

"I will talk to An Mingzhao."

"However, there is one point."

"You weren't replaced."

"You're joining a team to learn."

"From now on, you'll still be in charge of overseeing my daily live streams, content creation, initial business screening, and execution."

Zhang Jindong breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed.

"Definitely."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I have been a partner for nothing?"

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Then it's settled."

That afternoon, Jiang Feng officially signed his agency and business contracts with An Mingzhao's company.

The contract terms are clearly stated.

The decision-making power regarding the main body of the live stream, the game content, and the personal IP remains in Jiang Feng's own hands.

Anmingzhao Company is responsible for business screening, contract risk control, brand negotiation, legal support, and large-scale resource integration.

Zhang Jindong, as a member of Jiang Feng's team, continued to stay by his side.

Responsible for daily live streaming team management, content communication, initial business screening, and execution, while also learning from An Mingzhao's professional brokerage team.

In other words, Zhang Jindong was not replaced.

Instead, they were placed into a more professional system to continue their growth.

There are countless things to deal with, but one must still move forward.

Jiang Feng is very patient and willing to walk with the people around him.
